Instructions for Inversion Massage Recliner Use

Your Inversion Massage recliner is designed to provide relaxation in a variety of positions utilizing the easy lock levers on each side of the armrests. The ideal position for optimum relaxation is one in which the feet are above the heart.

NOTE: The Spa Inversion Massage recliner design has a weight limit of 350 pounds. Persons exceeding this body weight should not use this recliner.

• Before sitting in the Inversion Massage recliner, be sure it is in the complete upright position by unlocking the levers and pulling the backrest forward until it stops.
• Lock the recliner into the upright position by pushing the levers forward toward the footrest.
• Sit in the chair, unlock the recliner levers, and lean back slowly. Sitting all the way back in the seat will make it easier to recline. To adjust the angle of the chair, hold on to the armrests and lean back or forward until you reach the desired position. Lock the position into place by pulling the levers back towards your head.
• The footrest may be raised by pulling it upward. Each position will sound with a click. To lower the footrest, raise it until it stops and then push it back towards the floor.
• Before getting out of the Spa Inversion Massage recliner, be sure to return it to its full upright position and lock into place.
• Stand up using the armrests for support.

Tip: To help you recline, slowly raise your hands above your head and lean back. Lock in your desired position with the easy lock levers. To sit upright, unlock the levers and move hands slowly towards your knees while leaning slightly forward. This will bring the recliner back to its full upright position.

Power Adaptor Instructions

Connect the adaptor jack to the massage cushion's power receptacle located along the right side of the cushion. Once inserted, plug the other end into an AC power outlet. Use only the AC power adaptor provided with this unit.

AC Power Adaptor Information

Your massage cushion is powered by an attached custom AC home adaptor. Use only the supplied AC home adaptor as other similar-looking adaptors may cause irreparable damage to the unit and will void your warranty.

Massage Cushion and Hand Control Instructions

Press the POWER button once to activate the hand controller.
A corresponding LED light will illuminate to indicate the power is ON. To deactivate, press again.

Heat

To activate the heat function, your back must first be pushed against the cushion and the massage function must be on. Once resting comfortably, press the HEAT button once. The L.E.D. above the heat button will light indicating the heat is on.

NOTE: When selecting the heat feature with massaging action, there will be a slight decrease in the strength of the massage output. This adjustment is normal and should not be interpreted as a defect.

Massage Strength

Use this function to customize the intensity of your massage. The intensity will increase with each press of the strength button providing three levels: low (L), medium (M), high (H). To change the intensity from high to low, press the button again.

Massage Speed

Use this function to customize the speed of each massage cycle. The speed will increase with each press of the speed button providing three levels as well; low (L), medium (M), high (H). To change the speed from high to low, press the button again.

Massage Styles and Target Zone Options

Choose from 8 massage functions. To activate, press the desired function button. You can move from one style to another by simply depressing the button of another style. You can further customize your massage by targeting body zones and varying the speed and intensity within each style.

Automatic Shut Off

The Spa Inversion Massage recliner has been designed for convenience and safety. As a special precaution against falling asleep while using the unit, or leaving the unit on while it is still in operation, we've programmed it to automatically stop working 60 minutes after receiving your last command. Any time you change massage functions, the timer will reset. This special feature should not be considered as a substitute for OFF. Always remember to turn your unit off when not in use.

Please Note:
For added protection of your unit: When the power is on but no function is selected or only the HEAT function is chosen with no massage function selected, the unit will automatically shut off after 15 minutes.

Maintenance

To Store

Place the hand control into the custom storage pouch which hangs from the right side armrest. Avoid contact with sharp edges or pointed objects which might damage/puncture the fabric.
